Definitions

  • the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for distinguishing the two fields in a television signal, with a detector which assumes a first or second signal state depending on the timing of the synchronizing pulses of the television signal and a timing element which is connected to the detector and in dependence on the Duration of a signal state generates a field identification signal.
  • Such a circuit arrangement is known from DE-A-28 42 800. It generates a field characteristic pulse from the synchronizing pulses by means of two monostable flip-flops connected in series, which have different time constants.
  • the synchronizing pulses of a television signal usually consist of two pulse sequences, which each mark the beginning of a field and which lie between a sequence of horizontal pulses.
  • the two sequences first contain several pre-compensation pulses, then several image synchronization pulses and then several post-compensation pulses, the pulses occurring with a half-line spacing in each case.
  • the distance between the leading edge of the last horizontal pulse and the leading edge of the first pre-compensation pulse and the distance between the leading edge of the last post-compensation pulse and the leading edge of the following horizontal pulse is a whole line duration in the first sequence and half a line duration in the second sequence.
  • the European CCIR standard e.g. five pre-compensation pulses, frame sync pulses and post-compensation pulses each.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a circuit arrangement of the type mentioned in such a way that the field identification signal is generated during a field before the post-compensation pulses occur.
  • the circuit arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the detector is designed as a pulse pause detector measuring the pauses between the trailing edge of a synchronizing pulse and the leading edge of a subsequent synchronizing pulse, and for pulse pauses that lie between a first and second limit value, a first signal state and pulse pauses that are outside of these limit values assumes a second signal state.
  • the limit values are chosen such that the pulse pauses between the horizontal pulses are above the first limit value, the pulse pauses between the image synchronization pulses are below the second limit value and the pulse pauses between the compensation pulses are within the limit values, the pulse pause between the last horizontal pulse and the first pre-compensation pulse for one Field should also be between the limit values. That means e.g. for the European CCIR standard that six pulse pauses occur during one pulse train and within the limit values occur during the other five pulse pauses. Depending on the number of pulse pauses during a pulse train, a field identification signal is derived from the time measuring element.
  • the pulse pause detector comprises a first counter and a register, that the counter counts the periods of a clock signal, that the counting process is started by the trailing edge of a synchronizing pulse and stopped by the leading edge of the following synchronizing pulse and that Counting result is saved in the register.
  • the pulse pauses can be distinguished by this implementation. In order to be able to detect each pulse pause, it is necessary that the period of the clock signal is shorter than the smallest pulse pause to be measured.
  • a circuit arrangement which contains a counter which is started by a signal which is supplied by a detector after it has detected the leading edge of a synchronizing pulse which has previously been detected by an A / D converter was given.
  • the counter counts the periods of a clock signal and is stopped and reset when the trailing edge of this synchronizing pulse has been recognized by the detector.
  • the counter is set by a program stage so that it only delivers an output signal when it has exceeded a count value that corresponds to the width of a horizontal pulse.
  • the known circuit arrangement has the task of recognizing image synchronization signals and deriving a vertical synchronizing pulse therefrom.
  • the first development of the invention can now be used advantageously so that the clock frequency and the number of counter stages of the first counter are selected so that the register only stores the content of the two most significant counter stages and that the output signals of the register are fed to a logic circuit and the output signal of the logic circuit the output signal of the pulse pause detector is.
  • the limit values are determined so that with a suitable choice of the clock frequency and the number of counter stages, the two most significant counter stages emit the same output signal if there are pulse pauses between the pre-compensation pulses or the pulse pauses of shorter duration between the trailing edge of a horizontal pulse and the leading edge of a pre-compensation pulse . Faults that change the pulse pause are also suppressed, since only major faults have an effect in the two most significant counter stages.
  • a further development provides that a vertical synchronizing signal is derived from a signal of the pulse pause detector generated during the detection of pulse pauses that are smaller than the first and second limit values.
  • This vertical synchronizing signal is the inverted output signal of the low-order output of the register mentioned in the first development of the invention.
  • the time measuring element emits a field identification signal when the duration of the first signal state exceeds a predetermined limit value. Only if a pulse pause of shortened duration occurs after a horizontal pulse, is a field characteristic signal obtained after the measurement of the pulse pauses between the pre-compensation pulses.
  • the time measuring element comprises a second counter, the clock input of the synchronous signal mixture and the enable input of which is fed the output signal of the pulse pause detector and which only counts during the first signal state and that a logic circuit is provided which consists of the output signals of the Count stages of the second counter generates a field identification signal.
  • the pulse pause detector contains a counter 2, a D flip-flop 7, a register 8, an AND gate 14 and three NOT gates 4, 13 and 20.
  • a clock signal with a frequency (counting frequency) of e.g. 0.5 MHz is fed to clock input 1 of counter 2.
  • a clock signal with a frequency of e.g. 5 MHz this clock signal being synchronized with the clock signal of the counter, and the synchronizing pulses VCS of a television signal are given to the D input 5.
  • a new synchronizing pulse only appears at the output 21 of the D flip-flop 7 when a leading edge of the clock signal has occurred, i.e.
  • the output signal of the D flip-flop 7 is fed via the NOT gate 4 to the enable and reset input 3 of the counter 2 and the clock input 22 of the register 8.
  • the two most significant outputs of counter 2 are connected to inputs 9 and 10 of register 8.
  • Register 8 is loaded with the current counter content with the leading edge of a synchronizing pulse.
  • the least significant bit of the counter content stored in register 8 is fed to AND gate 14 via output 11 of register 8 and the most significant bit is fed to AND gate 14 via output 12 via NOT gate 13.
  • the output signal T of the pulse pause detector 19 is the output signal of the AND gate 14 and is given to the input 15 of the time measuring element 17.
  • the timing element 17 contains a second counter 23 and an AND gate 24.
  • the input 15 is an enable and reset input of the counter 23.
  • the clock input 16 of the counter 23 is supplied with the synchronization pulses VCS.
  • Two outputs of the counter 23 are linked by the AND gate 24.
  • the field identification signal HBK is taken off at the output 18 of the AND gate.
  • the timing element 17 counts the number of pulse pauses VCS when an enable signal is present at the input 15.
  • 2a and 2d show pulse sequences which are part of the television sync pulses, for example according to the European CCIR standard, and characterize the respective change of a field F1 or F2.
  • the pulse pause V after a pre-compensation pulse is 30ps
  • the pulse pause B after a frame sync pulse 4.7us
  • the pulse pause N after a post-compensation pulse 30ps
  • the pulse pause P after a normal horizontal pulse H 59ps.
  • a shortened pulse pause K of 27ps occurs after the last horizontal pulse H. This shortened pulse pause makes the two fields distinguishable.
  • the pulse pauses K and V do not differ in the two higher-order bits, but they differ from the pulse pauses P and B.
  • the pulse pause P lies above a first limit value 11000
  • the pulse pause B lies below a second limit value 01000
  • the pulse pauses K and V are between the first and second limit. This is used to identify the two fields. Therefore, register 8 only stores the two most significant bits.
  • the output signal T of the AND gate 14 changes from a second signal state to a e.g. more positive first signal state if the combination 0 1 is stored in the register.
  • Register 8 stores the counting result at the beginning of each synchronous pulse leading edge and thus keeps the signal T constant between the pulses.
  • the NOT gate 4 also causes a delay so that the count result is first transferred to the register 8 and then the counter 2 is reset. If a pulse pause other than K and V is measured, the signal returns to the second signal state. In FIG. 2b the signal T occurs earlier due to the pulse pause K and is half a line longer in the first signal state than in FIG. 2e. Since only the two most significant bits of the counter 2 are used to generate the signal T, the circuit arrangement remains interference-free with smaller deviations in the pulse pauses and with fluctuations in the counting frequency.
  • the number of counter stages of the counter 2 has been selected such that an overflow does not occur with no pulse pause measurement.
  • the number of counting stages e.g. 0.75 MHz at 5 counters, dimensioned so that e.g. an overflow occurs during the duration of the pulse pause P.
  • the circuit can also be implemented such that only the most significant bit is stored and fed directly to the input 15 of the time measuring element 17 without a logic circuit.
  • the counter 23 contained in the time measuring element 17 is released and counts the pulse pauses of the synchronizing pulses. If the counter has counted six pulse pauses, a field identification signal is emitted via the AND gate 24. If the signal T changes from the first signal state to the second, the counter 23 in the time measuring element 17 is blocked and reset. During the change from the first to the second field, therefore, no field identification signal can be generated, since the time measuring element 17 counts only five pulse pauses.
  • the field identification signal is shown in FIGS. 2c and 2f.
  • a vertical synchronizing signal can also be generated by this circuit arrangement.
  • the least significant bit of the count result stored in register 8 is zero only after the pulse pause B has been measured. Since this result only occurs after the measurement of the image synchronization pulses, the inverted output signal of the output 11 of the register 8 corresponds to a vertical synchronizing signal.
  • the output 11 of the register 8 is therefore connected to a NOT element 20.
  • the output signal of the NOT gate 20 is thus the vertical synchronizing signal.
